Maintenance Schedule and Records Your Honda automobile must be properly maintained to ensure that it is in peak operating condition and the emission levels are within the standards set by the Federal Clean Air Act. The following instructions and maintenance procedures are based on the assumption that your car will be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was designed: 1. To carry passengers and cargo within the load limits shown on the label on the driver's door jamb. 2. To be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal limits. 3. To generally be driven daily over a distance of several miles. 4. Use gasoline from pumps labeled unleaded, with a pump octane number of 86 or higher. The pump octane number is an average of the Research (R) octane and Motor (M) octane numbers. NOTE: Failures which occur due to a lack of maintenance will not be covered under the New Car Warranty. The Required Maintenance Schedule * specifies all maintenance required to keep your car in peak operating condition. Work should be done by a Honda dealer but may be done by any qualified service facility or individual who is competent in this type of work. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be done by any automotive repair establishment or individual using parts that are "certified" to EPA standards. After the maintenance has been done, be sure to have your servicing dealer complete the Maintenance Record on pages 79 - 8 1 . All required maintenance is considered normal owner operating cost and you will be charged for it by your dealer. * For vehicles sold in California, maintenance operations indicated by *3 on page 78 are recommended by the manufacturer. Other maintenance operations are required by California regulations and condition the emission warranty.
